“I’ve also noticed that sporadically the tamed Kurken keeps turning to look at you for a split second if you just stand around somewhere.

Maybe it’s aggroing then remembering it’s now your pet! ^.^”

” My Ancient Core Hound does the same. :)”

All of my pets are doing this, from my cat to my devilsaur. I’ve reported it as a bug. :P

I know a dear hunter friend of mine who is going to squeal in joy when I tell her about this.

Looks like I finally found a replacement for my temporary kitty…and BM spec is shaping up to be completely freakin’ awesome. I’d been debating going BM spec in the expansion and now it’s a clear choice. Just for the gorgeous Kurken, I’m so there X3

[...] up, the header image in this post is from Miyari, the same Miyari from Wowhead that let us know about Core Hounds on Friday. In this pic, the Core Hound is using both Charge and Lava Breath at [...]

Horde can get Kurken as far as I know but of course, it being an exotic pet you’ll have to be level 60 to even apply and the NPCs in the area won’t be able to put up any kind of fight to stop you.

OMG!! I am sooooo taming this once WotLK comes out ( my dad won’t let me try and go in beta).

I’ll reiterate again that The Beast (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?npc=10430), Omen (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?npc=15467), and Magmadar (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?npc=11982) are ALL level ?? Boss. Unless you, as a hunter, can somehow become a ?? Boss level’d character, there is absolutely no way for those to be tameable.

For some reason, wowhead lists them as tamable. So I went to wowwiki to read up on Skull type mobs. From what I’ve read there, they are considered 3 levels above the player, not that they actually are 3 levels above. So the only true way to find out is for one of the beta testers to treck through UBRS and try it themselves instead of just making speculations about it being tamable or not.

@Featherkitty: No, horde won’t have a hard time at all. keep in mind this is an exotic pet. Meaning you’ll need the 51 point talent. In other words, by the time you character is leveled high enough for the talent at it’s earliest, NOTHING in Azuremyst will even touch you XD

Just to add-
He has the sound for moving like a devilsaur (thump, thump!)
Also, it makes the screen shudder slightly (even after being tamed!)

Whether he will keep that attribute in final, I don’t know.
